Common Questions About Cleaning Up After Drug Use in Poolesville
What should I do if I find an unknown powder?
Do not touch, sweep or smell it, and do not try to clean it up first. Keep children and pets away. If anyone touched or swallowed it, call Poison Control, or 911 in an emergency. Then call a cleanup team to remove it safely.
Who cleans up after a police drug raid?
Police and the city do not usually clean the space afterward. The owner or the family books the cleanup once the scene is released. A cleanup team can work after the release and explain the steps. Ask the agency when the space is cleared.
What if children or pets live in the home?
Keep them out of affected rooms until a cleanup team has finished. Children and pets are closest to floors and furniture and are most at risk from residue. If a child or pet touches or swallows something, call Poison Control or a veterinarian.
What should I do if someone is unresponsive?
Call 911 right away. Cleanup can wait. After the emergency is over and the space is released, a cleanup team can handle the items and residue left behind.
Do cleanup teams test for drugs?
Standard paraphernalia cleanup is about removal, cleaning and disinfection. Testing is a separate step, usually tied to a site where drugs were made. Ask the team and the local health department what testing, if any, applies to your property.
Can residue come through skin?
Some residues can harm people who touch them, and you cannot tell by looking which ones. That is why gloves are not a substitute for professional cleanup. If skin touches something unknown, wash with soap and water and call Poison Control.
